The MASP gene family is the second most widely represented gene family in the genome of Trypanosoma cruzi. One of its main characteristics is that its 5' and 3' regions are highly conserved. We assessed the expression of these conserved regions as a marker for T. cruzi and also analyzed the expression of the masp genes and MASP proteins. In parasite strains CL-Brener (DTUVI lineage) and PAN4 (DTUI lineage), masp genes were expressed at different levels both with regard to the two strains and bet ...[more]
